I gave 1100 bucks for mine includes tires and detatched braden winch--everything worked from day 1 did some minor light rewiring also included dual reservoir powerbrake upgrade---liked looks of '65,66 but more look at my grill more I like better---wired up park lights to be on when headlights on too--looks cool----see pix of mine photo album...the bed on that one you're looking at looks decent but maybe8 0r 900 bucks...still drive it looks like..........

What do you think of that 62 F100 longwheel base UNI on Ebay?? It is kind of expensive--but it is original or new OEM (excepting the seatcover) and has many new OEM parts already installed.

In CA, these trucks which are usually rust free, are a dime a dozen.

The demand is slight because there's so many rust free cars around, that most don't bother restoring trucks..which out here have limited appeal.

Look at the '64 that Redmond Bob bought for 500 bucks. It was complete, and rust free when he bought it (no missing tailgate, horn ring, dash *****, air cleaner and etc).

To make that rusty cob as nice as the one Bob bought, will prolly cost the new owner a miminum of 3000 bucks.

I hadn't noticed the Uni thread. It looks OK, but the tailgate is gone, and while the seller may claim it comes with another tailgate, he fails to mention if it's a Uni tailgate.

If I had this truck up for sale, I would have shown a pic of the tailgate to assure potential buyers it's the correct one.

Because of the problem associated with the doors, I wouldn't be interested in buying a Uni.

I'd ask to see receipts for all the "new" parts. Buying any vehicle on ebay without having it inspected first..is like buying a pig in a poke...you really have no idea what the condition is.

Private sellers can and do...lie....worse than lawyers and used car dealers. Many sellers are also clueless about the very vehicles they are selling.

If you do buy it, the DSO is 51 = Denver CO Ford District Sales Office...where the original selling dealer ordered it from.

It wasn't sold new in AZ....cuz if it was, the DSO would be 75.

Ford used Rottenchester Quadrajets on 1969/70 428 Mustangs, Torino's, Fairlanes, Mercury Cougars and Montego's, DELCO starters on quite a few vehicles.

You make excellent points--Ford does/did subcontract to alot of other companies. I forgot about the Saginaw power steering. And Ford was using these Saginaw power steering pumps quite recently in the E series--if they still don't still.

What is strange about Ford subcontracting is that old man Ford back in the twenties wanted to have under his control in his factories--all aspects of production-he wanted to make his own glass and wanted to grow his own rubber for the tires of the Model Ts. Old man Ford didnt want any middlemen. And now Ford subcontracts almost anything.

Dang---I tell you-I wouldnt want to get in an argument with you---your range of knowledge and understanding about these Fords are just amazing. I wish that I could be an expert at something-to the degree that you understand the parts business.

I agree that it is a taking a big chance when bidding and buying sight unseen. But this 62 Ebay Uni sure looks good thru the pictures.

thanks everyone i just took time to re read this all having a rough time dealing with a family member in a coma so i come on when im able , so many very good points and opinions ill take everyones advice im a younger man and respect everyone here and all my elders im learning so much and i really appreciate that and glad to just be in this forum its like one big family and i just hate seeing these old fords go to waste

im 20 grew up in fords trucks my dad was a ford man im a ford man my grampa was a ford man to

I recently was able to save a bumpside 1969 F-250 Ranger Camper Special I got for 1500 December 1rst 2008

i rather drive these classic trucks then these new cars or trucks and im not into new stuff at all i love the classic's and like i said in my previous post im a ford man yes but ill admit i do own a dodge dart that i picked up from a scrap yard for 275 i just dont like seeing any classic cars or trucks ect. be crushed when there complettly road worthy

It depends on where you live. Looking at the background of the photos I'd say you're in the rust belt. In California that truck is worthless, but in the rust zone and far away from rust free areas it's actually worth something. Just my opinion.

I think $2k is still high. If I wanted to buy it I'd hope to pay under $1k, and I'm brave when it comes to rust repair. However, I'm also a little older and I forget that prices have gone up somewhat. It's hard to buy much that runs and drives for under $1k now a days.

I'd still try to get it for less.

Also, I don't know much about the year issues, but if these guys say to buy a later vehicle, I'm sure they're right. If you're patient and keep looking you might find a more solid example for around $2k.

I bought mine for $750 and its 292 v8 4x4 f100 and it runs nobody's business as long as i keep gas in the tank but it sat out side in the weather so long that it has faded from red to orange and its got some rust here and there and i also had to replace the starter but other then that no more problems yet and i am planing on getting a paint job before to long

You do realize that this is a 5 year old thread, right?
